Divorce Your Remarriage

Corey Minor runs the large SmartChristians podcast and in May 2026, he uploaded an episode about divorce and remarriage ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3uSMy4L-fmE ).  Corey has the typical permissive evangelical view on the subject except he believes the guilty party to adultery is not specifically prohibited from remarrying.  I react to Corey's interpretation in this episode.

Dr. Hershael York of Southern Seminary on the Pastor Well podcast ( https://youtu.be/athpYa7A6bE?si=3Bmk5HxIXKmArTSK ) provided pastors with advice regarding an unusual question: How should a pastor respond to an older couple who want to cohabitate and call it marriage?  In this scenario, the older couple is often incentivized by pension rules to forgo legally remarrying.  To keep the pension mone...

YouTuber Adam Robinson discussed Jesus's teaching on divorce and remarriage ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7bMesTO44A ).  In his presentation, Adam summarized Jesus's teaching in a way that gave the man more rights than the woman.  In doing so, Adam recognized that Jesus's exception clauses in Mat 5:32, 19:9 only provide the man the right to divorce and remarry in the exceptiona...

On the Room for Nuance podcast ( @RoomforNuance ), Sean DeMars interviewed scholar Dr. Wayne Grudem in May 2026 ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VB1T2VD8TCo ).  During this interesting and wide ranging interview, Dr. Grudem discussed his change of mind on divorce and remarriage.  I respond to his comments in this episode. While I disagree with Dr. Grudem on this subject, I am grateful for his con...

The Churches of Christ inherited a culture of independent thinking from their Restorationist Movement roots.  That culture, along with their inherited opposition to denominationalism, creeds, and other instruments of constraint (and unity) causes them to read the Scriptures afresh.  That has resulted in a significantly more restrictive view on divorce and remarriage than evangelicalism's majo...

Joel Garner ( @joelgarner539 ) interprets the New Testament to teach marriage permanence, but he disagrees with my view of the exception clause (Mat 5:32, 19:9). Joel critiqued my view, I reacted his his critique.  He then reacted to my video.  In this episode, I am responding to his last video.  This back and forth gives us the opportunity to identify the premises that underly our disagreement so...

Jesus rejects remarriage, but he makes an exception for fornication (Mat 5:32, 19:9). I respond to those who interpret the exception to permit ending a relationship if a partner is unfaithful during betrothal.

The Catholic Church declares/determines tens of thousands of marriages are invalid each year in America.  What criteria do they use to issue these annulments? If so many marriages are invalid, how can a Catholic know they're married when they say "I do?"  I respond to Mark Gurtner's excellent presentation at the University of Saint Francis ( @usfuts404 ) of the Catholic Church&...

Craig Keener is a well-known and accomplished evangelical scholar, author, and professor who has written and spoken on the New Testament's teaching on divorce and remarriage.  He defends a variation of the majority protestant view by finding exceptions for adultery and abandonment.  Dr. Keener goes further by asserting that Jesus spoke hyperbolically when calling remarriage adultery.  He conc...

Jesus references Gen 2:24's language about one flesh when he declares that God joins spouses in Matthew 19 and Mark 10.  But, does that mean sex is a necessary condition for marriage or that the unity of sex symbolizes the unity of marriage?

Lutheran seminary professor Dr. Mayes agrees that adulterous remarriages ought to be divorced, but he limits it to certain narrow circumstances.  In this episode, I react to his comments and the comments of Lutheran pastors who raise unreasonable objections to even the hint that some small percentage of adulterous remarriage might have to be divorced.

What if Jesus actually explained the divorce and remarriage "exception clause" and we have been missing it the whole time? I make the textual case that the second half of Matthew 5:32 is Jesus's explanation of "porneia" in the exception clause.  A surprising number of indicators point to this interpretation as the correct one.
